CABINET GASOLINE-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 320,691, dated June 23, 1885.

Application filed October 28, 1884. (No model.) I

To all whom it may concern:

Be it knownthat I, FANNIE O. RAWLINGS, of St. Louis, Missouri, have made a new and useful Improvement in Cabinet Gasoline- Stoves, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The improvement consists, substantially, in inclosing the burners, pipes, and reservoirof a vapor-burner stove in a cabinet, the lower part of which is a closet and contains and serves to sustain the burners of the stove, and the upper part of which forms a cupboard and contains the reservoir of the stove. The lower portion of the cabinet is also provided with leaves for forming a table-top at its sides and front, and the cupboard may be provided with shelving, all substantially as hereinafter specified.

The annexed drawings, making part of this specification, illustrate the improvement.

Figure l is a front elevation, the cabinet being closed, Fig. 2, a similar View, the cabinet opened; Fig. 3, a side elevation, the front leaf being raised and the end door being opened; Fig. 4, a side elevation, the front leaf being down and the end door being closed; and Fig. 5, a horizontal section on the line 5 5 of Fig. 4., the front and one of the side leaves being raised.

The same letters of reference denote the same parts.

A A represent the burners of the stove. B represents the stove-top, which also constitutes the top of the lower part, G, of the cabinet. The part 0, as stated, is made to form a closet, D, which is adapted not only to contain the parts immediately connected with the burners, but also to receive such articles as the utensils employed on the stove. The doors E at one or both ends of the closet provide access thereto. F represents the leaf, which is hinged to the top B, and adapted to be turned down or up, as shown in Figs. 4 and 3, respectively, and, when upturned, to be supported by the bracket f. It then forms an extension to the front of the top B. The top B, also, is provided at each end with a leaf, G, which can be folded upon the top B, as shown in Fig. 1, or unfolded to form side extensions of the top B, as shown in Fig.

2; or one of the leaves G can be unfolded and the other left folded, as in Fig. 5. The brackets g 9 support the leaves G G when opened out. The fastenings for connecting the burners, pipes, and reservoir with the cabinet 5 5 are not shown, as such constructions are familiar and do not need to be set out in detail. The pipe H, which supplies the oil to the burners A, leads thence backwardand then upward in the upper part of the cabinet to the reservoir J. The part I rests on the part 0. Its construction is similar to that of a cupboard, having shelves 2 v; and doors 2" '6. It not only serves to conceal the reservoir and pipe, but also as a receptacle for such articles as dishes. The details of the parts 0 I of the cabinet, as well as the external appearance of the structure, can, however, be varied in many ways without departing from the principle of the improvement, which consists, mainly, in a cabinet having a lower and upper part, which respectively, can be made to inclose the burners and reservoir of a vaporburner stove, and are otherwise suitably constructed for the reception of kitchen utensils and dishes. The extensions of the stove-top at the sides and front are valuable additions to the cabinet, but are not indispensable thereto. The leaf F might be made to serve also as to the front of the lower part, O, of the cabinet. i

I do not claim, broadly, inclosing the operative parts of gasoline or similar stoves in in cupboards; nor do I consider it to be new to attach folding leaves to the tops of such 8 stoves.

I claim- 1. In a cabinet gasoline-stove, the combination of the cupboard 0, having openings in its top, the burners A, situated in said 0 cupboard and under the openings, the supplypipe H, the reservoir J, and the closet I, supported by the cupboard O, inclosing the reservoir and provided with shelves and doors, substantially as set forth.

2. In a cabinet gasoline-stove, the combination of a cupboard, 0, having a stove-top and burners A beneath the same,the pipe H, the oil-reservoir J, and the cupboard I, inclosing the reservoir, isolated from the heat :00

ing devices of the stove, and provided with back and fit upon the stove-t0p and cover the shelves and doors, substantially as set forth. openings, substantially as set forth.

3. In a cabinet gasoline-stove, the combination of a stove-top having openings therein, FANNIE RAWLINGS' 5 burners situated beneath said openings, and \Vitnesses:

leaves hinged to said top in line with its upper O. D. MOODY,

surface, whereby they are adapted to turn J. W. HoKE.
